Elena Martinez was an ordinary girl from Salem until her father's gambling debts caught up with him—debts owed to an underground vampire loan operation. When those pale, fang-bearing "creditors" showed up at her door, she learned that vampires were real.

The blood clan gave her a brutal choice: her family's death, or Elena would enter Crimson Rose Academy as a blood servant to pay the debt. To p...

Just seventeen minutes after my mother drew her last breath, I ran into a man in the hospital stairwell, his head wrapped in a blood-soaked bandage. His expensive suit was shredded, and he begged me not to call a doctor, whispering only, "They're trying to kill me." With tears blurring my vision, I made the craziest decision of my life—I hid this amnesiac stranger in the now-empty hospital room wh...

In three days, I'll put on the white ceremonial dress and stand beneath the moonlight, addressed by the entire pack as—his Luna.
I've replayed that moment countless times: his hand closing around mine, his voice declaring our bond to the tribe,
and me—no longer an ordinary Omega, but the partner who stands beside an Alpha.
In my mind, that moment has always felt like fate.
I've believed that the s...

Five years ago, I walked away pregnant and heartbroken.
He chose someone else.
He let me go without looking back.

Now I’ve returned—with a son who carries his blood
and a strength I never knew I had.

He kneels, begging for forgiveness.

I was six years old when Mom took my brother and me by the hand, leading us into a mansion that looked like a palace. She told us this was our new beginning, after all the hardships we'd been through. But no one warned me that this so-called better life would mean giving up everything I had.

My scholarships, my prom dress, even my Stanford acceptance letter—they all turned into bargaining chips j...

On my 21st birthday, I kissed the man who raised me for fourteen years.

The next morning, he was gone. Just one line: "I'm sorry. I can't ruin you."

Four years later, Gabriel Sterling came back. Same deep blue eyes, same man who shows up when I'm sick. But he keeps pushing me away—because we're "stepfather and daughter," and our love could destroy everything the Sterling family built.

So I star...

They say some secrets are meant to stay buried.

I used to believe that too—until Roman Aldridge walked back into my life fifteen years later, no longer the broken thirteen-year-old boy I once held through his darkest nights, but a devastatingly handsome man who looked at me like I was his salvation and his damnation all at once.

"I've never stopped loving you, Vivian."

Those seven words shatte...

My knees wobbled, panic consuming every inch of me as I forced myself to meet his gaze.
“What the hell do you want from me?”

He leaned closer, his breath grazing my ear.
“Your touch…. It stole my power. And I want you to undo whatever you did to me. Right here…right now!”

I flinched. “How…. how am I supposed to do that?” My voice cracked, fragile and trembling.

His lips curled into a snarl. I w...

I once believed fleeing my engagement would set me free, only to fall headlong into a web of betrayal spun by my closest friend and faithless lover.

Now, granted a second life just a week before that fateful wedding, I stand before the man I betrayed—Alexander Stone, the unyielding soul who ended his life in my previous existence, all because of me.

This time, I've sworn to mend what I shattered...

I've always had an innate aversion to sticky textures—when I wore gloves to learn baking, my teacher snapped, "How can you be a chef if you won't even touch ingredients?" It was Roman who knelt with me in that supply closet, teaching me to identify vanilla by smell and handling raw meat for me. But when his mom yelled in the alley behind their restaurant, "Wearing gloves to cook is just faking—you...

I was the perfect Luna—until my telepathy awakened at the Full Moon Festival, and I heard my husband Kael’s true thoughts:
"A barren mate is defective."
"Thank fate my Omega carries my true heir."
"Where can she even go without me?"
Our eighteen-month marriage was a lie. He had me cursed by a witch while my handmaid bore his child.
They expected me to break. To vanish in disgrace.
They were wrong....

SYNOPSIS

“Remember,” he growled, his voice roughly caressing against the shell of my ear. His large and scarred hand splayed possessively on my stomach, pulling me back against the hard wall of his chest. We were a twisted parody of a loving couple, nestled in the bed we once shared.

His lips brushed the sensitive skin of m...

At 23, I still had two weeks until my due date, but a sharp pain hit me in the parking lot of my dad’s clinic, water gushing down my legs. My phone slipped from my shaking hands—I wasn’t mentally ready to be a mom, let alone admit who the dad was.
